Re: data recovery ... specificaly from ntfs to ext3

Originally posted here by very_unhappy does anyone know what "live CD" can enable me to move files from ntfs partition to ext3 partition

i have live knoppix which can mount both partition buy ext3 is read only

i also have live ubuntu so if you know 'bout any way to make those to mount partitions w/ full rights that would suffice

pls .. any help

If it is your machine, your hardware and you have admin rights why not just take control of the files?

But any NTFS capable linux platform will allow you to mount the NTFS partition and copy the data off of that partition. They cannot change the permissions because most of them mount in read-only. But you can easily take permissions with the administrator account.

how can I make live cd distro take writable control over the hda (ext3) i just need to

My guess is that the live cd automounts the ext3 partition as ro (read-only), so you just need to remount it as rw (read-write). Assuming that the ext3 partition is hda1 and that it's currently mounted at /mnt/hda1
